The best coffee / espresso in SD. Cappuccino , single origin coffees , the trophy wife (sweeter, still great latte ). Grab a seat outside .

Kevin Pratt

The Black Honeyed beans from El Salvador is true to its name: a dark roast that play on the mouth and the back with semi-sweet chocolate and thick plum . A strong plum finish is brought out by Chemex .

Jennifer Lo

Best coffee shop in SD! It was my first time going and the owner Chuck said hi and good bye to my friend and I. Definitely will visit more when I return to SD!

Ozgur Ulku

Best coffee I have had in a long while. Even the decaf roast was excellent which is rare. Also try the house blend

Lina L.

this place specializes in direct trade , sustainable farming & all coffees are brewed on-site. i really dig the vibe of this place, very laid-back. i had the kenyan on chemex drip, bold and rich, <3!

While the highlight is their dedication to sourcing the best beans in the most ethical of ways, they also have a quaint shop in which to drink it. Read more

Nativa from Guatemala mixed with bits of Jose Jerdana (Columbia) and Finca Linda (Bolivia) was available on cold brew and is light, bright and smooth. The mouth is a distilled mix cherry and lemon .

This place is amazing! When you order their espresso drinks , you can actually taste the nuttiness of their beans. One of my favorite coffee roasters in San Diego. I can't stop craving their coffee

Kevin Pratt

Go for the Chemex preparation of the Ethiopian Guji Zone for a blast of loud , bright , and surprisingly dark grape flavor. The flavor is sharp and comfortably restricted to the middle of the tongue .

Josh Nolan

Unique espresso here. Love how they are direct trade and use compostable cups! Way to go! Also the mochas use chocolate syrup from a local chocolate company. It's fantastic!

Kevin Pratt

The Santa Julia roast is a lively cup with some fruit flavors exciting the middle of the tongue . The hint of dark chocolate in the finish of this bean comes after a clean bite of pineapple cucumber .

Kevin Pratt

The Ulos Batak blend from the Sumatra region is a full-bodied taste of dark spices and earthy flavors. The spices act as the mouth and a slightly bitter aftertaste compliments the spices.

Peggy Gartin

Complementary cup of coffee when you buy a bag if beans. They’ll grind it for you, too

Kevin Pratt

Alemu Kochere, a washed Yirgacheffe (Ethiopia) bean, has a more understated mouth than most Yirgs. The cup has a lime tone in the mouth with subdued acidity on a Chemex filter. Light body; fair aroma.

This. Coffee . Is. Amazing. The latte was perfect and the staff is super friendly ! I loved the live music too! Definitely a place to check out!

Perriann Hodges

One of the best coffee shops to buy beans at! A little pricy , but it comes with the quality beans!!

Haley L

Get a trophy wife latte to go and walk to Calumet Park . Amazing coffee with an amazing view .

@SDWIFEY

Get the Viennese if you want something that highlights the coffee and isn't too sweet. Cinnamon & honey dance in your cup!

Julia

Awesome coffee spot with friendly baristas & great coffee ????????

Kevin Pratt

The Lennette roast from Kenya has a bright syrupy, honey punch from the Chemex preparation. The after tone is a mild citrus drink for your palette.

Senite8

Great atmosphere and great lattes ! Love the place.

Alana Yarbrough

They are known for their perfect lattes and coffees - also their delectable pastries . The 'trophy wife ' is great, also their 4 shot caramel lattes with whip. Be sure to check out their walls covered in

Roger Ma

You can never go wrong with their cold brew ! Drink it straight with no milk or sugar!

Joel Blazquez

The best aroma in all the lands. And the coffee is stellar, natch. Organic. Fair trade . Get there early for a Blueberry Cornmeal Scone (from Bread and Cie) on Wed, Fri, or Sat.

Fantastic cafe that cares a whole lot about their coffee and their people (here and abroad).

Lest you think that the best roasteria are in Seattle, think again. This place ranks with the best of small batch roasteria in the US.

Pourovers are a must if you're a coffee lovers visiting La Jolla
